Clippers’ Jeff Green cleared to play against Golden State
Clippers forward Jeff Green is helped off the court after suffering a head laceration Saturday against Memphis that required eight stitches.
Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said before practice Tuesday that Jeff Green was cleared by the NBA after he missed Sunday night’s game at New Orleans with concussion-like symptoms.

Green had sustained a gash on his forehead during Saturday night’s game at Memphis that required eight stitches.
Because the game in New Orleans was less than 24 hours after Green was injured in Memphis, he was required to sit out the game against the Pelicans because of the NBA concussion rules.
Green shot before practice when the media was allowed in the facility.
“He’s good,” Rivers said. “He’s cleared. I don’t know what they were looking for, to be honest.”
